This project involves the design and testing of a nonproprietary high-quality ultra high-performance concrete (UHPC) mix using locally available materials near Central Pennsylvania. It forms part of a larger project sponsored by the PennDOT, the CIAMTIS project, which has the ultimate objective of developing an economical non-proprietary UHPC mixture that has the potential to be replicated by a local producer for cast-in-place and prefabricated elements. This project aims to determine the influence of mixing parameters, mix design, and the use of various locally available mix constituents on the fresh and hardened properties of UHPC. This is achieved by means of the evaluation of a wide range of locally available aggregate, admixtures, and supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs). The results of this work shall be used in further studies in the succeeding phases of the project.
